From the article:
"'We see a huge cloud of material around the planet which is escaping and will be captured by the star.
We have identified chemical elements never before seen on planets outside our own solar system'
said team leader Carole Haswell of The Open University in the United Kingdom.'
Wonder what new element that would be?

Elements. More than one. If they’ve identified them they must have named classified them somehow.
Interesting. I’ll try to contact the author, get more info.
To: Diogenesis
It’s not a new element, merely some known elements never before discerned in the spectra of extrasolar planets or other stars. This planet’s special situation made the observations possible.
